GAMERella is preparing something extraordinary. This summer, the organizers are planning an event that will help aspiring and emerging game-makers get to the next level! Whether that is to make your next game, start your own indie studio, or get a job at a AAA – they are here for you! As always, GAMERella invites women (cis/trans), trans men, non-binary/genderqueer folks, BIPOC, and any others who feel they haven’t reached their potential in game-making, to join GAMERella Global in a weekend of fun game-making. All you need to participate is a computer, internet access, and to clear your calendar on July 9-11, 2021. Registrations will open in mid-May.
GAMERella Global 2021 is co-presented by Concordia University’s Technoculture, Art and Games Research Centre and EA Motive Studio, and is supported by Autodesk and Behaviour.
BACKGROUND
Many people still feel intimidated by the game-making scene and find it challenging to participate in events like game jams. In 2013, GAMERella was conceived at Concordia University to welcome people who are often marginalized in game-related spaces. We believe that GAMERella is a place to improve skills, try risky or unconventional game design ideas, make friends and industry contacts, and above all, have fun.
